- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23the Dove commercial was interesting and pretty realistic I do believe. :)

Creative yes, usually however creativity has the chance of being a pain in the ass.. erm.. head as HeadOn shows. - samste, on 10/12/2007, -6/+15the xbox 360 ad is fantastic, i hear it got banned though. why?!
- beanMosheen, on 10/12/2007, -6/+15You're getting dugg down because you totally missed the point of the video. Your view of beauty is shallow and misguided. it is the very reason women are so self conscious.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12Not in the US though, coz, you know, it might incite everybody to go get guns and shoot people (not that Americans don't do that already of course).
What an utter load of bollocks!! It is a great ad!!
But the f'ed up social do-gooders have their way all the time now!
"Think of the children!"
Bastards! - edzieba, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10I'd seen all but the folgers one. That was....odd.
- milarepa, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11carlton ad made me laugh. i like things that make me laugh. therefore, i like this.
- webcrumb, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10Tsk... how can they miss the Guiness Evolution ad? That one is literally the best of all time...

I'm pretty sure it won a prize at Cannes too. - seanherman, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9In case anyone is wondering, the song from the Sony Bravia commercial (the one with the bouncing balls) is Jose Gonzales' "Heartbeats" off his album Veneer. The song was actually originally written by the Swedish electronic-bizzaros The Knife, and comes from their album Deep Cuts. Jose Gonzales uses an amazing finger-picking guitar technique in the tradition of John Fahey/Robbie Basho, and adds incredible songwriting to the mix. I saw him perform solo live, and along with Zero 7 on their latest tour, and it was one of my favorite performances in recent memory.
- MikeMania, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7dclowd, take a chill pill.
- Renegade.eit, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8In case anybody was wondering, the first Sony Bravia commercial with the bouncy balls was done without any computer generation. I remember hordes of those little things as they were collected afterwards on my street.
- edzieba, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7You heard wrong. It played in several countries for quite a while.
- ricree, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8In general, beer ads seem to be a lot better than normal. One of the best one's I've seen was a budweiser ad in response to the Miller referee commercials. Basically, it had a bunch of fake referees running from the police after stealing people's budweisers and replacing them with miller beer.
I also like the magic fridge commercials: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l1JUaT4jOs - TylerDurden0, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I agree ricree. That was one of the best commercials of all time and a nice "up yours" to Miller's ad - directed at Budweiser. Learn your lesson and learn it well, you do not outspend The King.
- undersky, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6dove commercial brought me to tears. you guys don't think it's real? does it really matter? the [unfair] way we treat women is real. how the male dominant soceity defines a woman's value largely by an impossible physical standard is real. how women as young as a preteen can start caring about plastic surgery is real. we should stop putting out emphasis on a woman's body because that is not better than racisim.
- klasikahl, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Pepsi was by far the coolest.
- CaptainChad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The Nike Y2K ad is one of my all-time favorites:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ogq0zdW4gFo
Too bad it was only shown on one day: Jan. 1, 2000. - mastertop, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Pepsi's ad is very nice, though it isn't so original. See : http://youtube.com/watch?v=-uLHqSpkScA
- kohan69, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2magic fridge! magic fridge!!
- sideral, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4@seanherman
Thanks for the info! Nice song. - sharpe27, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Here is the Jetta ad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4GCq56bq_k
Is that Nina Myers? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Trivia: The HeadOn commercial is worded that way so they don't have to back any claims about the product's effectiveness. I believe I read that in Wiki.
Look on the bright side... at least they don't make a stick application of Viagra. I'll leave the rest to your fertile imaginations... - dWhisper, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2It'd only be fun until this exchange:
Me: Pew pew!
Other Guy: You missed me
Me: BS, I got you in the shoulder and the stomach
Other Guy: I'm wearing bullet proof armor
By this point, someone will have walked up behind me and gone bang... - Shorties, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3My god I can't believe I had never seen the Carlton commercial before that was so amazing!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Why not link directly to the youtube videos... I'm sick of this new trend of webmasters leeching youtube videos to drive traffic to their sites...
- Schug, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5fhqwhgads
- therernospoons, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4I'd hate to be the one standing at the bottom of the hill on the first commercial, ouch :(
- schabrat14, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5gah I hate that commercial....I want to punch the TV everytime it comes on....and just a small question....why does the lady with the headache look so happy....hello you have a headache.....stupid commercial!
- corvairkid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You know, those Honda commercials really don't make me want to rush out and buy a Honda. Same with that Toyota ad. Hell, that one's just creepy.
I think Jeremy Clarkson said it best with "All Japanese cars from the NSX right down to this Yaris have a mass produced feel. There's no sense of personality, no sense that it was made just for you. It's just an entry in a company's balance sheets. Europe has learned from Japan how to make a reliable car but they don't seem to have learned from us how to make something with a heart and soul."
Now try these Chevy ads from the 50's and 60's. What's the best way to see the USA? In your Chevrolet of course.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=QDCdbh3KTPM - Makes me want to add an early model to my collection. - trollORhumor, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2So long as there's no fat chicks advertizing beauty products, I'm cool with not photoshopping every face. Maybe use fat chicks in advertizing McDonalds- if truth in advertizing is what we're after.
- jbestrom, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3I still like the old VW Jetta commercial where the music went with the beat of everything. It was mostly showing off the windshield wipers. Man I miss seeing that one.
- rude1979us, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Best commercial ever!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIfUo91ZrFQ
NSFW! - IzeasGT, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Maybe that was just the only thing he had a question about?
- IzeasGT, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0That's not a good prize!
- BobbyOnions, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2The best advert ever:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fID-W9RT7OY - mbondr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I don't want commercials that I can't forget.
- meatmcguffin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Nope. Best ad ever:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tklGPpHv-w - NuclearBunny, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1The song is Certamente by Madreblu

- ckrickett, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I must say that Folger's one made me giggle!
Shockingly this one wasn't on there and I think it should have been...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHFd2VmzIz4 - RandomSkratch, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1yeah that one gave me goosebumps whenever I saw it.
- critic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0My personal favourite for all time was the Wendy's "Evening Wear" Russian Model Cat-Walk.
Every outfit the (overweight peasant woman) wore was the same, just the announcer proclaiming it to be everything from...Swimwear...Evening Wear.
If anybody as a RS or torrent to it, I'd be forever in your gratitude. I can't find it anywhere. - webcrumb, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1"They stole the idea right out of "Spaced"."
Yup, the first gun draw is /exactly/ the same as the series. - Essefgy, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4That ad ticks me off. They stole the idea right out of "Spaced".
- webcrumb, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Heh, you should see the advert for HeadOn that was on UK TV. Compare and discuss. They're quite different. ;)

- empeethree, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2WHERE'S THE BEEF??
that was back in the 80's and people from that era still remember those Wendy's commercials..
